While it is amazingly useful - and gorgeous desktop implementation - I think it has a limited target audience. Without a) the ability to screen local websites and b) interact with the site means that web application developers will still need to rely on spare PCs or Fusion/Parallels.

I hate firing up VM Fusion to test clunky IE7. One thing I've been taught is you sometimes do have to consider how a web site will appear on a real pc, I usually use a friend's pc to quickly look and step away from the machine, as they cause me nothing but headaches and disbelieve that people actually pay money for such endless pain and suffering. Thanks for the review Milind! Bookmarked and passed along… Be using this next web site I build for a friend, maybe next week, as his site will be viewed by many windoze users I’m sure.

I can imagine burning through all 50 pretty quickly trying to debug an IE problem. Also, I don't know how they would support password-protected web pages. The free account is much better than nothing, but $600 per year for the paid version is an awful lot of dough. Well, the free account only gets you 50 tests a month.
